Every day or night in Los Angeles many people wander the streets in search of the perfect taco. I am no different. I love Mexican food and I love tacos. But back in 2008 I took the streets in search of more than just hunger. The city of Los Angeles was out to make taco trucks a crime and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure the people of Los Angeles could still enjoy the wonderful taco (www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90149577).

I had to do something and I couldn't let another one of my favorite foods become outlawed, so I showed up to the protest armed with a camera and set out to change an unjust law. Apparently many others had the same idea and eventually the law was overturned (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/06/ucla-law-students-help-taco-truck-operators-overturn-la-ordinance.html). No matter how big or small you feel your issue is it is important to stand up and fight for something you believe in. You can make a difference. And next time you eat a taco you may be reminded why it is important to stand up and fight.
